Sole Source to Honeywell International Inc for Measurement Unit

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is issuing a sole source justification for a contract with Honeywell International Inc. The agency's mission is to provide technical support and services to the Navy, and this contract aims to procure a specific measurement unit that is critical for their operations. The justification states that Honeywell is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement due to the unique specifications of the item needed. Work Details The contract involves the procurement of one Measurement Unit, specifically model HG9900C1A-2020. This item is essential for replacing a fielded unit within a configuration controlled system. The acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with an estimated value greater than $25,000. The justification emphasizes that selecting another brand would necessitate system redesign and recertification, leading to significant delays and cost overruns. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at Bidder Requirements Honeywell International Inc. is identified as the sole source for this requirement due to its unique qualifications and the specific nature of the measurement unit needed. No other suppliers can meet the agency's needs without causing significant project delays or additional costs. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The prior award N6133124P1007 (04/17/24–04/17/25) awarded to LKD Aerospace for a “Honeywell brand inertial measurement unit” indicates prior work involving Honeywell measurement hardware. The current sole-source requirement is for a specific Honeywell measurement unit model (HG9900C1A-2020) intended to replace a fielded unit in a configuration-controlled system, which appears consistent with a continuation of procuring Honeywell inertial/measurement components rather than introducing a different brand.
